It should: my 150 is overclocked to 166 with those settings. My motherboard manual only claims to support 133, with a little extra sheet slipped in explaining jumpers for 150 and 166, so I wonder how relevant the compatibility figures in your manual actually are.

Hi I am looking to overclock to 166. I currently have a Pentuim 133 chip with a Triton 1 motherboard. The problem is I have two sets of jumpers to change. One the CPU frequency jumper, and the other a clock multiplier. I can set the Frequency to either 50, 60 or 66 and the clock multiplier either to 1.5, 2, 2.5 or 3. The motherboard manual says that the fastest chip it can support is a 150 mhz. But if I set the frequency to 66 and the clock multiplier to 2.5 will the chip run at 166? Currently the settings for my 133 are frequency 66 and the multiplier is set to 2. Thanks in advance Ron

No answer Ron, sorry. But I have the same problem (except I have a P100 and my motherboard can only support 120). Can anyone advise us please?

Yes. It will run at 166mhz with those settings, but be aware that it it may not work reliably at that speed. It may work for a while and then get real hot and produce errors. I overclocked my 166 to 180 and it worked for about 10 minutes and did strange things like disk read problems, locking up, failing to boot. Besides it was not that much faster or smoother with EF2000 which was the most demanding game I had at the time. Good luck. Jim

> I have clocked my P75 to a 100 & all works OK - Has been OK for 2 weeks now > My sound card does not work anymore (origional Gravus Ultrasound) That with the sound card - I don't know. But my P75 never ran at 75 Mhz. Bought that thing in August 95, ever since that SOB has been running at 100. My bro just got a 150, again, went straight to 166. Tryied 180 and 200 but wouldn't boot. Shitty chip probably - Intel, what do you expect. Later, Dave.

You bought a p150, not a p180 or p200! P166 is already a bonus you weren't supposed to get. :-) Now if they _sold_ it as p180 or p200.... =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The most civilized civilizations are as close to barba- rism as polished iron is to rust.

> No answer Ron, sorry. But I have the same problem (except I have a P100 > and my motherboard can only support 120). > Can anyone advise us please? I have the same type of motherboard which could only supposedly support up to 120mhz (I have a p100 ATM). On my jumpers the clock multiplier I could select was 2 or 1.5 and the clock speed selection possible was 50, 60 and 66. At the moment I'm overclocking it to 120mhz but I'm a bit hesitant to try out 133mhz (by selecting 66mhz and 1.5 for the multiplier) but I decided I'll do it anyway after I log off today. But hang around and I'll let you know how I went. cheers, ********************************************************* * ERIC "Dil-Lay-Lo-Mow-Hay" WONG * * Home Page: http://minyos.its.rmit.edu.au/~ewong * * R.M.I.T Bachelor of Engineering (mechanical) * * "May the 'Force' be with you, young Jedi!" * *********************************************************

Which will give you a P-100....... :) Better to use x2 multipplier (I know you know that, but just so's folks don't get confused!). Cheers!
